Jordan , Cody , Mr &Mes Collums , Chad and family . There are no words that I can say or write to take the deep ache of your broken heart in losing Cindi . My heart is breaking with the loss of your Mom , Daughter and Sister . Our friendship was new , it did not take long tho for me to realize just how special Cindi was and our friendship would be . Cindi would be very frank with me in saying that I just had too much crap , then turn and smile . What a beautiful smile , I will miss her Greatly . She was selfless in helping me , when she learned of my accident , she had a wonderful heart. We both loved animals and shared our compassion for the stray cats in our neighborhood. She took in Max ( one of the strays , I have named all of them ) I was thrilled. I told Cindi the she and Max was the first sucess story with my wanting to find forever homes for them . On Tuesday she spent the most part of the day at my home .We had a great time between cups of tea and eating my granddaughter 's favorite cookies , Oreo thins . With a lot of laughter , we were looking forward to many more times together and our friendship . I thank GOD for bringing her into my life . She was very helpful as one would expect from a retired Cpt. Nurse in the Army . Her compassion and friendship will be greatly missed . Mr & Mrs Collums and family , you have a wonderful , special daughter , sister , mother . GOD BLESS you , know that HE is with you and walks with you . Jordan and Cody , your Mom is a Hero for her country and in life . As difficult as it is today , let your memories of her comfort you as you go through life . With your times spent together, the memory of her smile , her voice , her love . With love and support, I pray for GODS grace , his love and compassion for you and your family . Please accept my deepest heart felt condolences in this time .
